49p and 99p postage, instead on £7.49 I think….we just want to see if the machine works at all before buying a new belt 🙂

Re: CHALLENGE: hotpoint electronic 800 de-luxe model No 9524

Thank you again Iadom, I’ve ordered the parts, and will lool forward to the end of the week when we can spend some time fixing it again, along with the 2nd hand belt off ebay to test the other machine.

I knew you wouldn’t let me down, and I’m constantly recommending this site to friends and forum members alike……

Re: CHALLENGE: hotpoint electronic 800 de-luxe model No 9524

lol @ Iadom…and thank you…..

Do you know if this includes the “tub seal” referred to in the comments below the part in the parts list. If we’re going to recommission this machine we might as well do it properly, so we may need the brass bush on the drum shaft also referred to in the text….
The spider seems OK, and I know we have replaced that in the past as well, in addition to the motor and the door hinge, and several sets of motor brushes 🙂
It’ll be like Trigger’s broom soon.
I will also get a belt for the Indesit, thanks for that reference as well, in case we need a standby again in the future.

Re: CHALLENGE: hotpoint electronic 800 de-luxe model No 9524

Thank you Iadom,

OK…I think I looked at those, and couldn’t find the relevant model number on the list, although it looks as if they will fit the machine that I need the drive belt for, which could be useful if the bearings on that one are damaged at all….is this a coincidence or what 🙂

Re: CHALLENGE: hotpoint electronic 800 de-luxe model No 9524

I have another challenge for you Dave; we have about 5 washing machines lying around, our Servis Easi Logic model M9310W stopped mid-wash leaving us with a flood and wet soapy dirty clothes; the only machine we could press into service to get the school uniforms clean was…
yes, our ancient Hotpoint electronic 800 de-luxe model No 9524 with the noisy bearings.

can bearings still be obtained for this machine please?

Also, we were given an Indesit W123 UK BG with a missing drive belt, drum and bearings seem fine…how much is a drive belt for this machine please….I can’t work oout what’s wrong with the Servis..it’s just obstinate!

TIA,
Marie

Re: Siemens Extraklasse not heating/random programme times

I think I hate this machine….we checked the pressure switch in the heater, ascertained that it was working, put it back and ran a programme to check voltage at the heater element etc….and b****r me, the blerdy thing worked….we ran some dishwasher cleaner thru it, and it worked again….now we’re going to try doing some dishes in it.

I know, loose/dirty connections or some such? But talk about all round the p***pot to find the handle!

Couldn’t have done it without you, and we may be back on here soon if whatever it was that fixed it doesn’t last…..
Any obvious suggestions.. 😈

Re: Siemens Extraklasse not heating/random programme times

Aha….thanks Washman, that makes sense (having looked up the definition of thermistor) I understand why, if not how (or vice versa).

Will definitely test the pressure switch tomorrow morning then.

Although this is tedious having the machine apart all over the kitchen floor and having to wash up by hand (how medieval), I welcome the opportunity to learn something new every day, and today I have learned several, and reminded myself of the definition of sintered.
Thanks for your help and guidance, it is invaluable.

Re: Siemens Extraklasse not heating/random programme times

Hi, the switch is not between the heater terminals, it is in the top of the heater housing. It has 4 (two pairs) of terminals, and is a temperature operated switch with the thermostat part protruding into the water in the heater housing.
The safety cutout part of this switch works fine, when placed in boiling water, but the other part we assume to turn on the heater element does not appear to be capable of carrying any current to live the element.

The heater is filling up with water OK, and we will test the pressure switch tomorrow although it appears to be working OK. Enough water is getting in to the heater to operate.

Does that help any further? 😛

Re: Siemens Extraklasse not heating/random programme times

OK….now more and more confused!

The heater element is showing 24.8ohms.
Filling is taking place, and the pcb looks clean.

We have just found a thermostat/switch in the heater which when cold(at rest), with two sets of terminals which shows only one thru connection which shows a resistance of 40k ohms.
We think this might be faulty and not turning the heater on as it does not appear to be capable of carrying a current which will turn the heater on.
I will add a picture when my camera has charged up.

It says NC (normally closed?) 85C
Typ 956
5600049491

Could this be the culprit?
Is it cheap to buy one to check please?

Curiouser and curiouser? Or :shake: clear as a bell to you?

Re: Siemens Extraklasse not heating/random programme times

Thank you Gegsy…..
Now have to get some batteries for my AVO meter….only 2 miles to the nearest battery shop….will report back, thanks again, I owe you all a dring (thinks…this might be an expensive round).

Oh, and one more question…does the same heater heat the water and the air for drying, or are there 2 separate heaters? Is the water heater in the pump?
😳

[windyone]

Re: Siemens Extraklasse not heating/random programme times

Thank you Penguin….
I was hoping you would be on here sometime.
We have taken the side off, and watched it fill up the fill matrix, and the pressure switches operate to let water in to the machine, which emptied the matrix.

Can’t see any obvious burning on the pcb in the door.

BUT, the heater does not show a completely open circuit. Do you have any values for the resistance of a good working heater please?

Bit stumped at the moment… :rolls:

Re: Siemens Extraklasse not heating/random programme times

Help 😕
I’ve looked in the spares section and I can’t find an element matching the model number of my machine….does this mean that it is obsolete?
Hugs, Windy

Re: Zanussi Tumble Dryer TCS-65W

Further investigation has narrowed it down to the fan on the back of the motor (can post pictures if it would help).
Everything else appears fine.
Can anyone, or an expert if anyone isn’t available, tell me if the fan is available as a separate part please…it appears to be broken on the plastic fan shaft, but is made of the sort of plastic that can’t be glued.
If it’s not too expensive I could order this and the bearings I need for my LG intellowasher at the same time 😛

Re: LG Intellowasher DD 7kg load

That’s much appreciated..I was going to get someone to do it..my husband 😀 but he doesn’t fancy a bugger of a job, so I’ll attempt to take it apart.
If I can do that, then he will put it together again, rather than have it lying around on the garage floor.
He’s got a bearing puller/pusher etc.
Onward and upward!
